| "Very often they are not major incidents as such, but could be caused when
| a patient administration system is running slow or there may be problems

| the systems used by surgeons to see X-ray pictures on a computer screen
| in wards and operating theatres. On some occasions the system is believed
| to have crashed during an operation, forcing surgeons to suspend the
| procedure while a hard copy of the X-ray is found.
